Ari Melber topped MSNBC's ratings in January, helming the network's highest-rated show and the 14th-highest overall.

Although Fox News continued its dominance over the cable news industry last month, with 1.35 million average total viewers, MSNBC was up 7 percent year over year, bringing in 703,000 average total viewers in January.

MSNBC's average easily earned them second place, as CNN earned just 524,000 total average viewers in January.

And while Fox had the top 13 rated shows for the month, Melber's The Beat was the first non-Fox show to appear in the rankings, meaning he topped everyone at his network -- along with the entirety of CNN's lineup. Melber's show, along with five other MSNBC shows, also beat Fox & Friends and Fox News at Night.

Lawrence O’Donnell, Chris Hayes, Nicolle Wallace, and Alex Wagner rounded out MSNBC’s top-five rated shows after Melber – in that order.

On Jan. 26th, Melber drew the highest ratings in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic on his network and on CNN with 162,000 viewers.

Last month, CNN's Oliver Darcy also reported that Melber's The Beat has crossed one-billion views on YouTube -- a rare feat for a cable news show.

In addition to his January numbers, Melber has been consistently pulling in impressive traffic for months.

He regularly draws in impressive numbers despite not having a prime time slot, and often outpaces CNN and the rest of MSNBC's lineup.

Punchbowl News’ Heather Caygle accused congressional Republicans of trying to prevent Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who is undergoing chemotherapy, from wearing headgear on the House floor ... yet no evidence of such GOP effort exists.

On Tuesday, the congressman was recognized and given words of encouragement by his colleagues on the committee. The moment was mostly treated as a warm and bipartisan display. Mostly.

In a tweet about the interaction, Caygle wrote, “Rep. Jamie Raskin gets a standing ovation in Dem Caucus after saying he will push back on Republican efforts to make him take off the cap he’s been wearing as he undergoes chemotherapy. ‘And I will make them take off their toupees,’ Raskin said to Dem cheers."

She later reported that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told her that he didn’t “know anything about" headgear House rules and would “look into it.” Raskin, however, already explained to Raw Story that he "was kidding around with that comment.”

In fact, Raskin celebrated in a statement to HuffPost the fact that his Congressional colleagues “have been uniformly supportive, Democrats and Republicans, you know, that means a lot to me."

Caygle failed to delete the tweet, which has 4.5 million views, and did not address it for more than 24 hours after propagating the rumor.

She has since admitted no Republicans "communicated that" effort to Raskin in a shoddy clarification tweet. Maybe make that clear before reporting that Republicans were discriminating against a cancer victim.
